Jazz GM Dennis Lindsey praised Raul Neto's defensive abilities.

"[Raul] plays with great energy," he said. "Even though he’s a little undersized, he’s an excellent defender already. Very good lateral movement. He plays with great imagination. He’s a pass-first guy." Neto will need to improve his shooting, but there is an opportunity to carve out a real role in Utah. Jul 27 - 8:28 AM

Neto recently signed a multi-year deal with the Jazz, but he will be competing with Dante Exum and Trey Burke for minutes. If he isn't able to carve out a role in Utah, he could gain some valuable experience in the D-League. We will be watching him closely in the preseason, but Neto isn't on the fantasy radar.

Raul Neto arrived in Utah on Saturday to discuss his future with the Jazz.

The Jazz have had their eyes on Neto for a while now, and it looks like we could see him on the Jazz roster for the 2015-16 season. However, with Trey Burke and Dante Exum competing for minutes at point guard, Neto would have a difficult time cracking the rotation in Utah. Jul 4 - 1:37 PM

Rodney Hood (shoulder) said that his absences during the summer league were for precautionary reasons.

"I wanted to play every single day," Hood said. "The training staff (didn’t) want me to play until I’m 110 percent. They understand that, even though summer league is important, the season is way more important. Obviously, I wanted to be out there competing, but I know there is a bigger picture in mind." Hood only managed to stay healthy for 50 games during his rookie season, so any injury will be a little worrying for prospective owners. Hood showed a ton of improvement when he did take the court this summer, but his path to regular minutes could be complicated by the return of Alec Burks.

Carrick Felix suffered a fractured patella and will be out indefinitely.

He's caught some really bad breaks in his two-year career. Felix is a bit like Corey Brewer for likely to do work in transition, but he's going to have a tough time getting playing time with all of these injuries.
